When we bought our house 12 years ago the barn had never been mucked out. The years of horse poop had hardened into a cement like slope. I tried mucking it out with our tractor but it was solid. I couldn't. It turned out to be an alright thing that the ground was sloped as the barn was always dry inside, even when the outside was flooding. Now, however, I am looking at a barn conversion and am wondering about the ground in there. I've had pigs on it for years. I know tape worms stay in the soil for ages and you can't eat anything grown where pig poop has been for risk of getting tape worms. Is the soil here too dangerous?
